Shipping
Shipping Schedule
Orders placed on or before March 7 will ship around March 26 through late April, starting with warmer areas and finishing in colder areas. Orders placed after March 7 will ship around late April through early-to-mid May, in the order in which they were received. Sorry, we cannot expedite these orders, add to existing orders or combine orders. NOTE: Scionwood and early rootstock orders ship around March 10.
You will receive an email update in mid-March with the approximate ship date for your order. When your order ships, you'll receive an email with the tracking number.
Please allow 1–3 business days for delivery in the Northeast, and 3–7 days for locations farther south and west.
We cannot accommodate specific ship date requests or guarantee your order will arrive on a certain day. If you are out-of-town during our shipping dates, consider having your plants shipped to a friend or neighbor to care for them until you return.
In mid-March, we post our approximate shipping schedule so you can get an idea of when your order will ship.
Shipping Charges
We ship via FedEx or USPS, our choice unless you specify. We strive to make our shipping charges fair, and it is a challenge. Since most packages we send with trees and shrubs are subject to expensive charges for oversized boxes and heavy weights, we have a category of small and light items that cost less to ship.
Small & Light shipping applies only to orders in the Lower 48 that exclusively contain item numbers beginning with L: perennials, bulbs, strawberries, rhubarb, hops, asparagus, scionwood and more. If you order other items in addition to these, you must pay the higher shipping rate.
